I am so excited as I just saw my first red cardinal for this season. The last time I saw one was in the last Fall.
What a beautiful sight it was when I opened the blinds in the kitchen this morning. The red cardinal was just sitting on one branch of my biggest forsythia in the back yard. It stays there for a few minutes and then took off.
I am looking forward to see it every day now. One of the joys of the season.

I never thought about not seeing birds daily. I am glad that you have birds coming back.

We get those red Cardinals in Dallas. They come around in summer. Not yet seen one. Blue Jays are around now.

I love them. I raised on from a baby. I found it in my pool. I had him 13 years.

@marlina Couldn't find the mom. I gave him special bird feed mixed with water until he was old enough to eat on his own.

Did you take that photo? Excellent picture. I have male and female cardinals visit me each day. They love my birdseed. I have also been seeing plenty of robins too. A good sign for warmer weather if they have traveled on up to Canada

oh, how i wish i can see a beautiful red-colored bird around, but the most number of birds flying around is the house sparrow, the most common house birds.
